Editor's note: Greensgrow is an urban farm and social enterprise, not a community garden as previously reported. Edit 12/7 @ 1:55 p.m. Also, Generocity parent company Technically Media is a member of the Sustainable Business Network. That membership is not related to this story.

The former energy and environment strategy and process consultant has been tapped to run The Energy Co-op, the Center City-based nonprofit energy provider, as reported by Philly.com. Rhett also previously worked as the commercial director of clean energy company Enviva. As of early 2015, The Energy Co-op serviced nearly 30 counties including large cities such as Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Allentown, Lancaster and Wilkes-Barre.

Under her watch, the program has directed almost $500,00 in loan capital to over 100 businesses, according to an announcement email from the city. Thomas will join the Department of Commerce’s talent development unit and will be replaced by former Kiva fellow Jossiel Cruseta.
